Mayor’s Big Idea Redux

Well, evidently the Mayor is visiting lala land again with the Big Idea Redux. First it was the Big Idea of closing off a lane of the Main Street Bridge for hotdog vendors and a pedestrian way. Now just a little more than 3 years later, the Mayor has announced he wants to change his focus to downtown development and open space.

I’m sorry…but did I miss something here?

The recently released Council Auditor’s report identifies millions of dollars in funding shortfalls (6.7 million of them to be exact) and the Mayor wants to revamp Metropolitan Park and Friendship Park?
